Grouping of buttons, but no combining : narrow buttons

SUMMARY
Task manager has an option to group buttons by program names (ie. multiple Firefox window's button will be next to each other). It also has a distinct option to combine such groups into a unique button. When the first option is enabled but not the second, buttons have a reduced width, as if the task bar were clumped.

OBSERVED RESULT
See attachments.

EXPECTED RESULT
Wide buttons in all cases, since space is not scarce.


SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I think the behaviour was correct with KUbuntu 20.04.
